Beyoncé’s New Song ‘Break My Soul’ Will Send You Straight to the Dance Floor

Culture

A new era of Beyoncé is officially upon us.

The superstar dropped her new single “Break My Soul” at midnight, treating fans to an uplifting dance anthem about celebration, survival, and resilience. This marks our first glimpse at her long-awaited seventh album, Renaissance, due July 29.

The dance influences are apparent in the high-energy track; it samples the famous “Show Me Love” by Robin S. plus vocals from Big Freedia’s “Explode,” according to Pitchfork. (We did previously get hints that her new music would take us to the dance floor.)

It was also reported that Beyoncé was able to take more time to perfect her album given the delays over the pandemic. It seems she channeled a lot of the public’s feelings over this tumultuous time too, from undergoing big life changes (“Now I just fell in love / And I just quit my job”), to eagerly socializing again (“And we back outside”), to discovering new passions and priorities (“I done found me a new foundation”).

Beyoncé only announced this morning that she would be releasing “Break My Soul” at midnight. The song arrived sooner than expected on Tidal earlier this evening, but is now available to stream on other platforms too. Read the lyrics and get inspired below.

I’m ’bout to explode, take off this load
Bend it, bust it open, won’t ya make it go?
Yaka, yaka, yaka, yaka, yaka, yaka, yaka

Yaka, yaka, yaka, yaka, yaka, yaka, yaka
Yaka, yaka, yaka, yaka, yaka, yaka, yaka

You won’t break my soul
You won’t break my soul
You won’t break my soul
You won’t break my soul
I’m telling everybody
Everybody

Now I just fell in love
And I just quit my job
I’m gonna find new drive
Damn they work me so damn hard
Work by nine
Then off past five
And they work my nerves
That’s why I cannot sleep at night

Motivation
I’m looking for a new foundation, yeah
And I’m on that new vibration
I’m building my own foundation, yeah
Hold up
Oh baby baby baby

You won’t break my soul
You won’t break my soul
You won’t break my soul
You won’t break my soul
I’m telling everybody
Everybody
Everybody
Everybody

Release ya anger, yelease ya mind
Release ya job, release the time
Release ya trade, release the stress
Release the love, forget the rest

Imma let down my hair
‘Cause I lost my mind
Bey is back and I’m sleeping real good at night
The queens in the front and the doms in the back
Ain’t takin’ no flicks but the whole clique snapped
It’s a whole lot of people in the house
Trying to smoke with the yak in your mouth

And we back outside
You said you outside but you ain’t that outside
Worldwide hoodie with the mask outside
In case you forgot how we act outside

Got motivation
I done found me a new foundation, yeah
And I’m taking my new salvation
And imma build my own foundation, yeah
Ooh baby baby

You won’t break my soul
You won’t break my soul
You won’t break my soul
You won’t break my soul
And I’m telling everybody
Everybody
Everybody
Everybody

If you don’t seek it
You won’t see it
That we all know

If you don’t think it
You won’t be it
That love ain’t yours

Trying to fake it
Never makes it
That we all know

You can have the stress
And not take less
I’ll justify love

We go round in circles
Round in circles
Searching for love
We go up and down
Lost and found
Searching for love<

Looking for something that lives inside me
Looking for something that lives inside me

You won’t break my soul
You won’t break my soul
You won’t break my soul
You won’t break my soul
I’m telling everybody
Telling everybody
Everybody
Everybody

You won’t break my soul
You won’t break my soul, no, no
You won’t break my soul
You won’t break my soul

And I’m telling everybody
Everybody
Everybody
Everybody

I’m taking my new salvation
And imma build my own foundation, yeah
Got motivation
I done found me a new foundation, yeah
I’m taking my new salvation
And imma build my own foundation, yeah
